This is the Tamiya kit,production turret + Eduard PE set. Started it a while ago, I made the breech of the cannon and limited details that are visible from the open hatches, but I was totally unhappy with the paint job,so it was never finished. So now I`ve stripped it bare of paint,loosing a lot of PE in the process.I had to fashion some lost details and reattach the PE that came off. At that point,I`ve decidet to do a fictional build,a late Tiger II which has different parts attached so it will be operational. I have used the sheet metal modification over the exhaust and intakes

The tracks are in two pieces so I can remove them at any point

great tank i love the tracks and turret but wheres the turret camo or the weathering on the tracks

it is not painted yet, and the tracks are not finished...

the whole tank is yet to receive camo paint,right now,I have primed and preshaded it in black. pics to follow

I need help from somebody...I have no idea where I have placed this topic,so it would be appreciated if it can be moved where it belongs,in the 1:48 section...

and now,something completely different..

since this i s a what if,I have played a bit with the camo,using octopus scheme only on the body,leaving the turret in base green and interior red oxide primer.the chipping was deliberately done over the top,it is shining because a filter session is to follow,than washing and painting of small details and caterpillar assembly

Bad lighting conditions+ bad choice of surface + 2 am in the morning = not even near color of the interior color...

Very nice Tiger II. What did you use for masking? The blue tac (patafix)? I see it's a "late" one so the wooden block and the tracks mounting cable shouldn't be there but it doesn't really matter. Great job.

Very nice build, had to remind myself that it is 1/48th scale. Love the camo pattern.

yup,patafix then fethered a bit.
I took liberties with this one, It`s a fun project
